Pro-source PRO10368 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8 12x25x1

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10368 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. Measuring 12 x 25 x 1 inches nominal (actual dimensions: 11-1/2 x 24-1/2 x 3/4 inches), it uses a wire-backed synthetic media construction that maintains pleat geometry under airflow. The filter achieves 35% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012 testing and handles airflow up to 775 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute. The rigid paperboard frame keeps the filter square during handling and installation. Licensed HVAC technicians and HVAC-R service professionals install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance.

This filter is suited for forced-air systems in residential homes, light commercial buildings, and any unit accepting a 12 x 25 x 1 inch filter. It performs at an initial resistance of 0.14 inches water gauge at 300 FPM, with a final resistance rating of 1.0 inch water gauge, making it appropriate for standard-efficiency blower systems. The MERV 8 rating captures common airborne particles including dust, pollen, and mold spores, supporting both equipment protection and basic indoor air quality improvement. It is rated for operating temperatures up to 200 degrees F.

Key Features

• MERV 8 rating with 35% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012
• Wire-backed pleated synthetic media maintains pleat shape and airflow uniformity
• Integrated paperboard frame for structural rigidity and easy handling
• Rated up to 775 CFM airflow and 300 FPM maximum face velocity
• Initial resistance of 0.14 inches w.g. at 300 FPM — low static pressure drop
• Maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F
• UL 900 listed and ASHRAE 52.2-2012 compliant

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air unit accepting a 12 x 25 x 1 inch nominal filter size. Verify actual filter slot dimensions against the actual filter size of 11-1/2 x 24-1/2 x 3/4 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

Power down the air handler or furnace before removing the existing filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the new filter so airflow moves through the media toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain trapped particulate. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommended replacement interval, typically every 60 to 90 days depending on system runtime and environmental conditions.
